What fighter of non-German origin would you be most interested in?

[ITAF_Ale]

Folgore!!   superior fighter.

 

 

 

[Bubi_EH]

Definitely the Macchi C.202 

waiting for it in BoS

[Jaws2002]

Can the Macchi 202 do this:

 

 

  

[JG300_Hammel]

IAR 80

[--Voltaire]

Macchi C 202  without any doubt !... 

[[JG2]R7_Blackadder]

With all due respect , not only priorities vote for the Macchi, but also as a more farsighted choice.

 

IAR-80 surely deserves a place and I'm sure it will be introduced later on...after all these are Axis' lend-lease. It seems only fair to give a spot to everyone.

[ITAF_Rani]

  Sex on wings.

 

I agree with you :-)

[Gutermann]

IAR 80

[LLv44_Mprhead]

For BoS, IAR 80.

[bigd0311]

I voted IAR. I would prefer to see at least a B varient or later for historical reasons. I think some of you guys are jumping the gun. They haven't even released BOS and you're already in North Africa.

[[JG2]R7_Blackadder]

We are also in North Africa

[Dormouse]

I stubbornly fail to see why, if an italian fighter should be represented, 202 deserves the place, since  the burden of the engagements with the VVS was substantially bore by 200's which, btw, also carried out ground attack along with Caproni light bombers, which, odd enough, nobody seems to miss into the game. I should like to add that I am Italian and the Regia Aeronautica is dear to me.

We are also in North Africa

So are the 200's and in greater numbers

[[JG2]R7_Blackadder]

Perfectly right, and they would make a nice support characters for scenarios.

 

I just bowed my preference to what the OP proposed. If it was up to me first choice would be a RE-2005 and "who-cares-about-setting" mode: ON

[Dormouse]

Which is why, with regret, I bowed to IAR's, because in the proposed scenario they were present in more significant numbers =)

[[JG2]R7_Blackadder]

Well that is true as well. Might be a better Idea to switch the Italian option to a Mc.200 and see where it goes

[Emgy]

Russian poll results

 

 

1. IAR 80 (291 votes [59.15%])

    

2. Macchi C.202 Folgore (201 votes [40.85%])

Combined with our results:

1. IAR 80 (547 votes)

    

2. Macchi C.202 Folgore (479 votes)

Ok then I suppose they won't even vote for the Mc.200 it's too obvious it will arrive this summer at the latest :D

Quite true actually...Even though the poll was between the 202 and the IAR (and I voted the C.202) I would like more to see the C.200 instead of the C.202 as an initial-release aircraft. It fought more in that theatre and it could still be used in the future as well.

Maybe the 202 could follow.

 

I actually "hate" to decide which aircraft should come out next; IAR or Macchi. Just because both of them were employed in that theatre (even though we must admit that the IAR fought in the same map as we have in the game...), it would be just great to have both planes in the sim.

Having a little bit of variety apart from the common german and soviet planes would be beneficial to everyone I guess.

 

Fingers crossed...

I'm with you, i love the 202 but the mc200 has definitely more sense by historical point of view.

[Jaws2002]

IAR-80 FTW!

 

 

 

[[JG2]R7_Blackadder]

lol

[wtornado]

Historical impact/ effectiveness/numbers involved...

Can't really go full historical with the FW-190 at Stalingrad.

 

I would like the Macchi 202 Bis or Folgeltro

 

with the DB 605 would be nice to have.

[wtornado]

Can the Macchi 202 do this:

 

 

  

As a matter of fact yes it can

 

 

 

 

 

You also have the open cockpit precision bombing version of the Macchi 202.

This was the workhorse and this saw action. The other was a pretty girl sent over there to take propaganda pictures. Get real instead of claiming immersion.

Always loved the C.200. It's not totally correct though to state that the 202 was just sent there for that reason.

 

The 202 was present in that theatre, but in a very small number. Nonetheless it was there, and it saw action.

Of course, having being sent later* than the C.200s and in a very minor total number, it fought much less than the 200.

 

 

* we are talking here of a delay of about one year. The 200s were sent in the summer of 1941 and stayed there until January 1943, almost 1 year and a half of continued operations. The C.202s arrived in the summer of 1942

[Yakdriver]

what non-German fighter would you like to see in IL-2 BoS? Early LaGGs with retractable tail and up to 5 guns.

 

or the MC-202. fine bird.

Macchi C.202 Folgore!

[Kronossss]

macchi M.C. 202 folgore

[Eldur]

Thanks a lot for voting folks!

I must admit that results are different on this and on the Ru forum (they mostly prefer IAR). So we'll need to discuss this question further here in the office, and also consider the possible rival for MC202/IAR.

Thus I'm starting abother poll regarding lend-lease planes that fought for Soviet Union.

 

I also voted for the MC.202 just because I like that plane, but the IARs would take a better place - I hope it's not the question which plane comes, but just the question which comes first. In the case of the IAR, I'd prefer to see all the IAR-80/81 variants by modifications in the loadout screen (4 FNs / 6 FNs / 4 FNs+2 .50s / 4 FNs + 2 MG FF(/M ?) / 4 FNs + 2 MG 151/20 / 4 50kg bombs / 1 250kg bomb... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IAR_80 ). Actually I loved the IAR-81C in Il-2 when the FW-190s were not available...

True. most of propaganda depicts 200's, pictures of 202's in russia are much more rare. Also true that those (twelve?) 202's saw all the action they could take in the months they were there.

[[JG2]R7_Blackadder]

I think the poll presented a bad choice in the first place,the question as well as the planes asking about.

 

Anyway the result is there, now let's hope to see all the three of them asap

[Dormouse]

The crucial question of which one between the Fly and the Bolt would get the upper hand keeps me awake at night

[Jaws2002]

The IAR-80 team wishes you all Happy Easter!

Since these planes don't seem to be meant for BoS anymore, but possibly for a different theatre (if i understood a recent dev post about this correctly), i switched my vote to the Macchi.

I'll make a voodoo doll with your name on it.

[sturmkraehe]

I am all for the IAR because:

 

it's a nice plane too rarely presented in other flight sims (ok, the M202 not much either but still a bit better known)

 

above all the IAR was a far more relevant plane to our scenario.

Edited June 4, 2014 by sturmkraehe

[Schwalbee]

I chose the iar 80 because of the armament . Two MG 151's and four 7.7 machine guns. Now that will pack a punch and the plane seems like a great bnz platform.

[Cpt_Branko]

IAR-80 for Axis, P-40 for Soviets for BoS

 

In 1943, Soviet front - P-39, the N and especially Q versions.
